The main reason we're able to ship so much internal software at Alpha School / Texas Sports Academy is because all our engineers are fully AI-enabled. We have an unlimited company-wide budget for AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, v0, whatever) so we're constantly shipping prototypes to quickly get user feedback and iterate. (we obviously do a lot of testing first to make sure it doesn't negatively impact students) @PalmerTheDev, @Abhi1sk and @turing_hamster (all @gauntletai grads) were able to build the MVP of this cheat detection feature in a few hours and ship it in our internal admin dashboard. After a couple of days testing and QC, we're able to push it out to coaches.

99% of Edtech software does nothing to ensure students aren't cheating, guessing or rushing. This is a *huge* oversight that has made the majority of edtech apps ineffective for your average student. (cheating is rampant at schools + universities) For our Texas Sports Academy schools, we're solving this problem by building our own in-house cheat detection system. When the students are doing their 2 hours of academics, we have a recording system that watches their screen/webcam and streams the footage to our backend. All this video data gets analyzed by our AI system and any instances of cheating (in in-house or external learning apps) are immediately flagged for our Texas Sports Academy coaches & admins.

SAT scores were released today. Three girls in my Alpha High group were described by their parents as “not math/science girls.” They’ve been focused on other pursuits—launching a Broadway musical, competing for Miss Teen USA, building millions of TikTok followers, and becoming a nationally recognized teen dating expert. Their SAT Math scores: - Girl 1: 790 - Girl 2: 790 - Girl 3: 790 Place kids in the right environment, and they’ll shatter every ceiling you thought existed.

Day 2 of @gauntletai and I'm blown away by how much I've learned & accomplished already, and how much more is to come. This is the beginning of a Figma-like collaborative canvasing app, which will have many more features by the end of the week. Stay tuned!

After running 5 schools, I've realized that the feature in edtech software that *drastically* increases learning outcomes is not things like better spaced repetition algorithms or improved content scaffolding. Learning science principles are very important but what truly matters is that your software - makes sure the kid isn't cheating - ensures the kid isn't randomly guessing answers - forces the kid to read the explanation when he gets a question wrong Nailing those basics drives learning outcomes more than anything. 99% of edtech software fails at this.

Alpha School is building the future of education. Texas Sports Academy is using that platform to create the next generation of scholar athletes. Students finish a full academic day in just 2 hours, freeing up time for their passions at school, and at home. This is the future.

If AI keeps advancing at this pace, coding should be added to common core curriculum. Every child should learn to code before graduating high school. It’s the language AI speaks and the tool that will determine how AI reshapes work across all industries.

@ThePrimeagen If AI doesn't get it right after 3-5 attempts, the answer is ALWAYS plainly stated in a doc somewhere. Never fails.

6 hours, chatgpt trying to get the correct pins for the LCD screen Nothing 5 minutes of me searching the open source repo Found the definition header file Every time I do this thing in my head where I assume that because I don't know this area, it will be faster to get up to speed with the help of AI, and yet this has happened to me so many times now....

@roger_jgs404040 @lud_armageddon This is very impressive for 1 day. The theme and UI are both fun & engaging. The free-response "easy" questions are a bit difficult for me since I don't know Latin... but overall this seems like it could be a fun, gamified way to learn it. Nice work!

@Austen You’re just now realizing this? I’ve spent my entire life on this site, and news flash: it’s always been that way. Not sure how it took you this long to notice. Smh.

Most annoying part of X Person 1: “I just discovered xyz. Interesting.” Person 2: “Well yes obviously. I’ve dedicated my entire life to xyz. How could you not know that already?”

Today was an absolutely INSANE day at Gauntlet AI. A hiring partner facing some tight deadlines put bounties on the projects they needed to ship urgently. When Gauntlet challengers knocked them out ahead of schedule they came to pay them out… …with giant bags of cash

Somehow taking your kids to the beach is just as fun, maybe more fun, than going to the beach as a kid was.

I don’t understand anyone who’s bearish on coding with AI. If you know your product, surely you can write a prompt. If you can read code, surely you can identify slop. If you can write code, surely you can revise outputs. If you can’t code with AI, sounds like a skill issue.
